The bitcoin exchange rate exceeded $81,000 for the first time after Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election. Traders expect a relaxation of cryptocurrency regulation by Trump, who has previously expressed his support for them. On Monday, bitcoin rose 2.8% to $81,241. Over the past week, the growth was 14%, over 25% in a month, and over 100% in a year. Republicans, in addition to Trump's victory, are approaching full control of Congress. This will allow the new administration to implement policies that will support cryptocurrencies. Experts suggest that the new administration will bring positive changes, in particular, in the work of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These changes will lead to a softer regulatory stance on digital assets. They also note that the increased demand for bitcoin is due to a combination of favorable factors: reduced regulatory risks, improved financial conditions and optimistic macroeconomic prospects for the United States.
